Clearwater, walks and Araby
After a couple of months off, I have started on another Clearwater novel. In case you’re not sure what I am talking about, this is my Victorian mystery series that begins in October 1888 with the Ripper murders, and so far, has reached summer 1889.
There are five books in the first series, but the sixth should be available at the end of May or early June. That one rounds off everything that’s been going on during parts one to five but leaves the ending open for a future series, which is what I have started working on. For those that have read the series, it concerns the same characters (those that survive part six, wink, wink) but moving in a different direction. I can’t say much more until you’ve read number six, ‘Artful Deception’, otherwise I might spoil the ending of that one for you, but this series will still contain mysteries, clues, puzzles, humour, excitement and perhaps a little sex, just like the others. The idea came to me on my morning walk the other day.
These walks are not only good for the BP and other health things, but they also help clear my mind and allow me some quiet time to focus on stories. The thought process is occasionally interrupted by a wave to a passing acquaintance, or these days, a chat across the empty road, and sometimes by Araby, the sheepdog and he runs up to greet me like he did the other morning. I think he was telling me to watch out as there were sheep and goats ahead, but I’d already spotted them by then.
Ps. If you are interested, the Clearwater Mysteries are available on Amazon around the world, in Kindle, print and Kindle Unlimited. The links lead you to Amazon.com where, if you are in certain countries, you may find a message saying ‘currently unavailable’. That’s because you’re not in your home country Amazon. Replace the .com with .co.uk, for example, and you should be fine.
